Thomas Wooden Railway Layout - 1998 Yearbook Layout (2019)

Inspired by a post from the ThomasTankMerch guys on Twitter, I decided to recreate the 1998 Thomas Wooden Railway yearbook layout as my final video of 2019. Special thanks to Ricky & Louis, Ed's Trainz, 3HenryTheGreenEngine, Roman'sTWREmpire, and turtlesandthomas for their assistance in making this layout possible!
Thank you all so much for a wonderful 2019. Regardless of what happens to KZbin and Thomas & Friends in the future, this has been a great decade. See you all in 2020!

Please send this to Mattel as a MAJOR wake up call to how awesome it used to be. THIS IS A THOMAS MODEL RAILWAY, not the crap that's being sold as Thomas toys today. That is if you can find them for sale in store. The painted Thomas WOOD has just totally vanished from so many retail stores.

[@ToastTheThe]

I haven't seen Thomas Plastic, I mean Wood in Target since last year!

[@Jake_Josh]

leokimvideo ha! As if Thomas Wood would become bling. Thomas 60ty anniversary gold Thomas is lost to time.

[@thehaloscrolls391]

Thomas merch in general just sorta vanished from stores

[@greenengine03]

Toast the Carno me too. There’s only trackmaster motorized and push along. I don’t really mind because I like push along, so that’s what I buy when I’m there.

[@eldmusic]

Amen!

[@MasonDey]

ThomasWoodenRailway I just wanted to say thank you for the years of memories and smiles you have given me, you were the one motivated me to collect Thomas toys as a kid. Just, Thank You :)

[@Douglas57647]

You seriously deserve a gold trophy for this, this is incredible! Mattel should put you in charge of TTTE merchandise!

[@ironhorse3826]

This looks incredible! Way to end the decade ( which started January 1st 2010 and will end on December 31 2019 .) with a Bang!!!

[@ironhorse3826]

Gabriel Tekle is 2010 a part of this decade?

[@ironhorse3826]

Gabriel Tekle I don’t think you know how decades work

[@ironhorse3826]

Gabriel Tekle I don’t need my fingers to count

[@roycoulee1148]

Okay so its not hard, um the decade starts in 2010 and ends in 2020 which will be the start of the new decade. I think your over thinking.

[@roycoulee1148]

@@the4tierbridge no, what! Ten years. That makes no sense.

[@mcgipple]

My mom just gave me my Thomas stuff back. (kids are into it) I built a biiiig track today similar to this. But this is insane.

[@MrBluebellEngine]

It may have been very hard to make that layout, but you did an amazing job recreating it. It looks incredible and I bet your very proud of yourself

[@totallytidmouth]

I've always wanted to do something like this with Take Along, unfortunately, not many massive layouts exist, or are extremely hard to find scanned online...

[@jjlee4009]

Second and that is AWESOME!!!! Well done, Thomas Wooden Railway. I also have about 5 Thomas Wooden Railway yearbooks from 2000-2010/2015.

[@user-zz3ii8xy3v]

This is definitely your craziest layout(in a good way)!

[@UsefulEngine11]

Geez Thomaston Railway this is absolutely awesome I can't wait to see you make more Recreations of old layouts this is absolutely pure art keep up the good work man and happy New Year

[@thegrandbrakevan3662]

Omg you finally did it this is awsome

[@Nicholas-wy2eh]

All of that hard work is certainly worth all of the effort, ThomasWoodenRailway. You have done a nice job on putting that layout all together, as well as everyone who has pitched in to make this possible. Happy 10th anniversary to your videos, ThomasWoodenRailway, and I hope you have a great season 16!

[@Koko_Chan]

This was amazing chase!!! So beautiful and nostalgic I can’t wait for the next seasons layout!!! 12:12 she’s probably have an affair

[@AhmadMoney]

Douglas#10 this is for kids not teens so don’t say some things that are in this comment

[@thomasanderson63]

Remember we have comments still

[@ToastTheThe]

@@AhmadMoney do kids even know what an affair is?

[@SonicJrandSarah]

I've been attempting to build this layout, and I have had some trouble in getting some pieces together, and I am not surprised that you brought up that there were a lot of impossible areas. I've been using ThomasTankMerch's images for reference, but even then, I had a lot of trouble. I am still going to try to recreate it as much as possible, but then make some changes to improve how the layout plays out.

[@tancoplays3502]

Why does everyone hate the traction rail I love the way it looks

[@csquared84]

Traction rail is awesome, that’s the track I grew up on

[@Dachuckyfanmasteryt]

Same

[@theguywhodoeswhatever]

I think because they don't like the track because it dint need changing I think

[@coolthefool1]

Oh my nostalgia haven't watched this guy in like 7-8 years

[@simongannicliffe7232]

This is one of the best layouts ever

[@jacobduchi6610]

They’ve been taking away comments from a lot of your videos, I’m scared guys. 😢 😦

[@tomsvideosofrandomcrap6223]

It's because Thomas and the other trains are kids characters and these videos are family friendly

[@jacobduchi6610]

Ik it sucks, but I want to be able to comment, I’m not a little kid, I’m 14

[@thomasfan9537]

Actually, Henrietta was made in 1993 along with the other items of that year. She was discontinued in 1996 which is why she wasn't in the yearbook or on the layout.

[@aestheticcruise8807]

A huge hit of nostalgia! I had a lot of the tracks, I had a wooden Thomas, trucks, Henry’s tunnel, a bridge and a wooden Sir Topham Hatt!

[@gearbrix1040]

Chase, since comments are being turned off soon, I just want to say this while I still can. I don’t know if I’d still be be into TWR if it weren’t for you, so thank you for being a part of this community and for all the amazing work you’ve done in it.

[@ToastTheThe]

Don't worry the comments are back now.

[@rue_studios]

it is hard to imagine how you built that layout. It is like you were the one who made the year book

[@OutEastK2]

Bro this is so frickin nostalgic, I just thought abt this guy so I returned to his channel after 6 years😢 (I was in my basement and I saw my Trains so I remembered this guy)

[@porto498]

AyoRichh my mum gave em all away to my cousin and they fucking gave them to charity. About $6,000 gone. I’m starting to re-collect

[@nbigham1]

Same. I used to watch this guy when I was 9-10 years old. Am now almost 19 and headed to college.

[@OutEastK2]

nbigham1 same, I was around 8-10

[@thesudricengine]

I used to be against Wooden Railway Thomas toys but I just ordered some and they arrived and I’m in love

[@robertglen2564]

That's the amazing layout, I've ever seen! It was copied from the 1998 Yearbook! 😄

[@ThomasWoodenEpisodes]

That video was very captivating. Moreover to the nice-looking aspect of the layout, it made me want to built one on my own, despite the several challenging spots. Such a cool feeling. The overuse of risers reminds me a lot of the Ultimate Island of Sodor layout from the 2006 yearbook, that was definitely the set I dreamed of when I was a child. Would be interesting to see you recreating it haha, even though it requires even more specific numbers of accessories than the one from the 1998 yearbook.

[@adamwilliams2253]

Phenomenal man! This would cost an absolute bomb to get together!

[@CW56]

Incredible

[@SonicJrandSarah]

I'd like to try making this layout, although I don't have all the pieces, but I could get the pieces that I need for it. Maybe even expand it with more pieces in my collection.

[@thestormisempty6270]

I thought the next season of the series was coming out this month

[@thecustomn.w.r5331]

Well done thomas wooden railway

[@gwrhero2495]

Wow I have this yearbook and I have always looked at the picture thinking how amazing it is. Its awesome to see that you actually got everything together to recreate it. Oh and btw at 17:18 when you said henrietta wasnt realesed yet, I own a flat magnet henrieta with no dates on the wheels so i dont know.

Its actually epic

[@ASMRLemon]

Wow, that looks amazing!

[@FlyingDuckMan360]

This kind of layout was the dream of every kid who owned Thomas Wooden Railway back in 1998. I know it was mine. If I were to build a layout like that (which I can't really, given I don't have all the right pieces), I would mostly likely resort to having to use track and accessories from other brands, like BRIO and Melissa and Doug. I admit that's what I've done when I built layouts based on those from the yearbooks from the 90's. Given the sheer absurdity of this layout such as tracks structured like a roller coaster and the engines pulling all sorts of bizarre trains, it may very well have served as the inspiration for the fantasy sequence in Season 22's "Forever and Ever", One last note, Henrietta was released in 1993, but discontinued in 1996.

[@HunterTWR]

I just noticed you end every decade with a layout video.

[@ToastTheThe]

You mean year?

[@HunterTWR]

His final video of 2009 was his season 8 update video, which served as a layout video for the first three episodes of season 8. This video is his final one for 2019, which is a layout video.

The mad man did it

[@abbeyroadfan94-J.P]

Awesome job, I love to see more yearbook layout recreation videos

[@BranchlineProduction2068]

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow

[@frogmouth2]

The layout itself is kinda impractical in a couple areas where they clearly wanted as much track per space as possible. But that’s sensible since they wanted to cram every inch of those pages with product potential.

[@flyingScotsmanProductions]

Dude do you play with these? I mean like because all the tracks are so intertwined with each other, so is there any space to move the trains along the track?

What an awesome layout! Will you be making stories/videos with it?

To make this thing, i would need the suspension bridge, log loader, sawmill and dumping depot, switchyard crossing, elsbridge, the sodor cargo crane and the bluebird tunnel

[@benlahrman4149]

Heard you complain about not being able to get into tight spaces for filming. Why do you not get a “GoPro” style camera holder to extend your reach so you can use model railways like this design for filming.

[@marcuslee2005]

Like if this video makes you old.

[@DuckTheGreatWesternEngine0912]

Nice!!! :-)

[@Theogautobot19]

You should build a layout off of this model

[@isaacshomemadevideos85]

Maybe you can use that layout for Season 16 with extending the rails and replacing the rails under the bridge with a x track bridge piece.

[@LeafeonLover423]

Do you have a double red sodor bay bridge?

[@New_Roblox-do4vu]

You should ask Hero the japanese train to make a CGI (from the great race) flying scotsman from a gordon body and tender and a conner tender with the wood scotsman face when it comes out.
